Curtis Mayfield was one of the kindest and talented artists ever. He wrote so many awesome hits and movie soundtracks (Claudine, Sparkle, Let's Do It Again, Superfly, Short Eyes, A Piece of The Action, The Return of Superfly, The Women of Brewster Place)
Count me as a Curtom fan forever. Mr. Mayfield: 1. The greatest falsetto in pop music (Marvin Gaye a close second). 2: The Best Tele-Wah player. 3. great song writer 4. Producer 5. innovator. 6 Future seeking ears 7. A great conscience and a precious social icon for the freedom of Mankind. Why Curtis did not receive the U.S. Medal of Freedom is an oversight of great moment and must be corrected. Mr, Mayfield's work in The Movement was great and he sacrificed much of his career to be at the forefront of both the Civil Rights and Anti-War movements. Curtis was a major influence on me in many ways. Yeah, I am an old-timer, but Cutis record's have LEGS. They are gonna be walking for a long time to come! They will be discovered by many new generations of musicians. He will forever be a major influence. University music departments will study his work. People need to learn to recognise truly important artists from their era whom will transcend time.
He was way ahead of his time, the songs are so relevant today more than ever. I grew up in Germany listening to his music, and I still love his songs. Thank you Curtis mayfield!!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼❤️
We can't MOVE- FORWARD if we don't STOP being disrespectful, giving honor and respect to those who have paved way's in the music industry, and other area's of this thing we call LiFe. thanks for your reply olevi 1965

So sad how he was paralyzed this same year
What a tragedy that was and a waste and it was even worse as it could have been avoided so easily
♥️♥️♥️⭐️♥️♥️♥️
Why didn't Curtis receive the US Medal Of Freedom? Because the thugs who run the music industry are not made with that kind of fairness and respect.
LAWD LAWD LAWD sang man sang yo song. My testimony..
